Hull FC are gearing up for the 2017 Challenge Cup final when they take on Wigan Warriors tomorrow afternoon.

Whilst all the players will arrive together at Wembley aiming to reclaim the prestigious trophy, the way some of the squad prepare for the contest will differ.

Some have their designed playlist on loud speakers that gets them up for gameday, others prefer some slow jams on the headphones in a moment of solitude before the car crash collision sport that is rugby league takes centre stage.

Whilst at Wembley here today we spoke to several of the Hull players on their preferences when it comes to preparing for the big game.

Music choice on gameday

Scott Taylor: “We’ve got a playlist that we played last year and we’ve played this year. It’s a bit of a weird dance mix. I get the speakers on and all the lads are sick of it but it’s worked for us so far.”

Mahe Fonua: “I like to sort of build-up to the moment. I’ll listen to some relaxed old school 80s music and then slowly before getting to the ground I’ll throw on a bit of Kendrick Lamar and Drake on the headphones. I like to build up to it.”

Fetuli Talanoa: “It’s about relaxing on the way to the ground for me. I’m more of a slow jams type of guy. Love songs and reggae.”

Danny Washbrook: “Tag has a playlist we listen to every game. Sometimes when he’s injured Wattsy puts his on. I used to listen to music on my own on the way down but it wasn’t relaxing. It was booming but I’ve chilled out a bit as I’ve got older.”

Josh Griffin: “I like listening to a bit of Bryan Adams or rap on the way down. It’s a mixed playlist. I’m more of a headphones keeping myself to myself guy.”

Danny Houghton: “Zero music for me. Tag’s music is like 14 years old.”
